Re: Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin
"A Political Star was born", Wallace after the speech. Whether you liked that one speech, whether it was written and spoke to satisfy you personally or whether you personally feel it was accurate in content....That one speech probably turned a McCain win into a McCain/Palin landslide, no doubt establishing women as a REAL force in American politics.
Racoon; Please, George W Bush is not and can not ever run for President again in his life. While I disagree entirely with your personal views of his tenure, historians will judge the decisions he did make and for the reasons made. I suggest, those judgments will not satisfy you...
Obama, his handlers or the party itself literally manhandled their parties system to get one person the nomination, OVER who I feel was their overwhelming choice, clear to the end of the primaries. Topped it off with the dismissal of that person as a viable VP pick or any true recognition of her personal success or that of her husband in his administration. The Democratic party was IMO, hijacked.
McCain, IS a War Hero, was influential to hundreds of fellow captives and from all indications should have died while a prisoner of war, been reduced to a life of insignificant relevance from those injuries or at best, a loyal follower of his chosen party. He did none of this, following his long heritage in our military/political history and at the age of 71/72, run for the number one office. He may not be the War Hero many perceive, to you, but by any standard, he most certainly is an AMERICAN HERO.
Doc; I will address this to you. Obama may or may not be a good or even honest person, I don't really care. But we have a couple self grandiose books and his word on just who he is or how he got there.
He is a Graduate of 'Constitutional Law' from Harvard Law School, at the age of 30 (dropped his credentials - 2002) having never argued a case and lectured at Chicago University for TWELVE years. There should be an implied knowledge of American History someplace, yet can you give me one instance where any of this history or understanding of the Constitution is obvious.
Thunderbird; Understand...I am agnostic and DO NOT practice any religion or have I ever.
However the American People are a religious group and for all practical purposes believe in a GOD and the creation of all things, in some manner. This going well back before there was an America, even possibly a reason America was populated and formed. They have never elected any person other than a self professed Christan and won't in the foreseeable future.
Public k-12 education is already down to about half the total today and creation education available in all religious, most private and an indeterminable number of group/home schooling and optional in all higher educational institutions.
